Event Distribution tool not displayed.
Incorrect colour selection in ac_2D_graphs->create_donut_chart() would resort to default colour schemes regardless of calls to ac_2D_graphs->set_colour().
Garbage text on Changelog viewer when page loads.

Incorrect permissions on upgrade scripts.
Reduced race condition chance that leads to package file download failure due to temp file deletion.
